bla blah motherfucking blah who cares nobody reads this i wouldnt even fuckin read this.  I wouldn't fucking listen to this or look at that or take two seconds to listen to what the fuck is going on around me.  sometimes I have to wait for the bus.  I hate it.  I don't have to wait for the bus on the internet so i don't wait for anything and now i dont even have enough patience to listen to a song all the way through and so i have been very very disappointed with music lately and now spell check says i wrote with wrong but did i?
ok.  maybe i shouldn't be on the internet. i'm just mad.

oh right i suppose i should also note that i got a scholarship in the mail.. so now im not so worried about the holidays.  although, indeed i haven't done much christmas shopping yet, so the next couple days will be pretty crazy.


im not sure why i felt so inclined to "note" that.
i realized today while i was cruising around some music blogs that i've lost my patience for listening.  it's feels like i have stopped listening to new music and all i do now is "preview" it.  which sort of works for some things, actually its really handy when you're looking for stuff to dj, but it's completely useless when you're looking for something to actually listen to... which is something i do a lot more frequently than i "dj".
so today, after i realized this, i decided to try and give as many new songs a chance as i could.  it was really hard.  i kept getting tempted to just skip to the middle, or look for a "drop" or something.. but actually when i started thinking about it, most of the music i like doesn't have a "drop" or anything remotely similar, and the real value of the track comes from giving it a full listen, start to finish, and listening to things develop.  anyways, i guess im sort of rambling but i just wanted to make a note of that... i need to listen to music more carefully and more patiently.  that may just end up being my new years resolution.

in other news, i found a cover of crazy in love by antony and the johnsons and it is really great.  haunting and desperate.  really brings out a different side of the lyrics. here it is:

this time of year is always shitty for some reason. i always panic about not having enough money to get anyone anything worth while for christmas and the weather makes me want to hang myself.
im going to banff again for a party on friday night. should be fun. i have to write a paper for my stupid class before i leave. fuck i hate right now, it's fucking stressful.

i made some new shit today. i was fucking around with hip hop beats and tapes and detuning synths. sounds ok. i sent it to oddlogic for some feedbacks since he seems to be the expert on that sort of thing. i wish someone would press vinyl of some of my tracks already. im sick of this shit.
actually im sick of making music to be honest. im sick of this shit i make and im sick of being so far away from what my goals are. i wanna make heavy glitchy shit... but it aint happening. or maybe it is. fuck whatever. im worried that the law is eventually going to come after me and i'll get so fucked that i'll never be able to make electronic music again.. or something. i dont know. dont know what im so worried about now, it's not like i do that sound collage shit anymore. but still.

i wanna finish this pd for ios shell for the project rob and i are working on. i want to hit 1000 listens on every song on my soundcloud. i want my website to look way cooler than it does. i wanna play at mutek on the biggest stage to the best audience, and blow their fucking minds. i wanna feel good about my music again.

anyways fuck it. whatever.
here's the track i was working on:
